Random Pictures Continued...

Post Yours Here!After browsing through 'coonoe' & wifes superb pictures this evening, I thought, what a great format!
How about, now posting your own favourite random pictures, over the years, on one thread?

You're only allowed 5 pics.per post (as per 'coonoes' original) and they all have to feature a canoe or an image of...(not too much of cooking of stuff OK?... As my blogs often do! )

Canooe & wife, hope you're OK with this? (My fingers remain crossed!)

Here are mine, for starters...
Canoe-Fishing at Pangbourne with a hot air balloon in the distance.

A decent catch at Hambledon weir. (With witnesses, I may add!)

Some boys from Hereford....
A pic. that got my 'twickers in a right mist!' (Cajun Canoe..hope you're still out there bud!)

From a recent trip...
Evidence of a former goulash maybe?

And finally....
A pic. that tells me the exact reason why I go paddling.

Interesting pics. & make sure to tell your boy that he's paddled across 'lumpy water' that even seasoned 'old paratroopers' such as likes of Bonarmbj fear to go these days!
Hats off to you and the good lady Crow this evening!

Wow...Loved the pictures we need more!!the Tee Pees are fantastic! Bonarmbj, Ty for starting the thread. Do I get 5 more??? Oh and nice pike! I loved the canow with the cottage in the background too. lol the swims are fantastic. When I 1st started to paddle WW, my nick name was "Dunk" lol and they were going to paint the name on the bottom of my solo boat . Keep the pics coming!!!

Well, here goes. Hard to whittle it down to only 5 photos.
Number one, a pic of a friend several years ago pointing out someone who had a run-in with a strainer on the Current River in MO (USA).

Number Two: My wife near one of the Accesses on the Niobrara River in Nebraska (USA)

Number Three, the prettiest place I've paddled. String & Leigh lakes in the Grand Tetons of Wyoming

Number Four, a couple friends on the North Fork of the White River in MO (USA)

And Last, I have to include a picture from the BWCAW area of Northern MN (USA). Tough job to sort through and cut it down to five photos!

Wow!
I've been left breathless by the pics.so far posted this evening! (I've been halfway across the globe and back again..and I haven't even left my armchair!) But even so, thankyou guys..what an experience!
Keep'em coming! (Please)
I'm going to add three more (that's the rules now..3 per person. (Unless of course your names 'Coonoe or wife of'...In that case you can post as many as you like....You guys were the guys that inspired this thread!)

One last Bonarmbj rule for this thread...No 'unnecessary personal nattering' inbetween pics! (You know who you are!)
(Sat here now 'dug-in' with in a flak-jacket & steel helmet on my bonce whilst awaiting my next reply from Crow! )
Lavvu?...Teepee?...It was 'a pointy tent' with smoke coming out of the top, right!?
Where was I?
My 'pop-up' tent, just before it pops up!

So have I got this right - you can have 5 pictures, no make that 3, no make that 5 again? And they must have a canoe in them. Or maybe not now - they must have a canoe or a tent or a weir or Bonarmbj's face in them?

And no unnecessary smart ass remarks from the back of the class. Necessary smart ass remarks must be ok then...

Right, I think I've got that sorted in my head.

Off to find some more pics.....

well..ok , I 'll pop on 3 more...save some for later. When I had the door stolen on my van, I was about to take off for palmer Rapids, so I had to load my wifes Subaru. The canoes are my old Mohawk Probe and My Esquif Canyon.

As i have only got into this passtime in the last year 5 photos should be easy.

The first is my daughter on the front of a hired canoe on the river Wye.
As we went along she got more relaxed
In fact i was starting to think i was the only one working here
No i was right i was the motive power in this father daughter team
In fact at the pub stop she felt that the log in the river was a better craft.
Either way we had so much fun she has asked to do it again next year. You never know we might get mum to come out camping and canoeing.

Nice to see some more great pics, along with 'a real teepee' and a youngster enjoying herself so much.. superb!
Still dealing with the 'Auf Deutsh' comments...(this morning) with 'my old man' being at Dunkirk and all that..and 'his boy' fighting certain 'decendants' on the outskirts of Port Stanley some 30yrs ago!...(But, I'm sure they're all nice comments Meine Friende! )
Now throwing in 3 more pics this morning... for good measure and maybe 'drum up' some more random business!
Cuddly Bullocks!
Mid-Thames wilderness camping for Bonarmbj and other armchair adventurers!

Oh Boy!
Just as I got to that stage in life where I thought that I had 'done it all and seen it all'....
I go and browse through this evenings 'random pictures'....and realise that 'this morning' I very much need to think through that thought very carefully once again!

Nothing worse than not being able to sleep. So I'll bore you all with a few more pics. This was a weekend at an easy camping and canoeing spot Herb Lk. 1st 2 pics was the paddle in.
My wife (bow) Daughter and 2 dogs.

Diversity being the word...
A northern Italian mountain backdrop with a spectacular island to match....Wow!
But no match at all, for that gorgeous hair and fabulous paddle!... And all in one picture...stunning stuff!

There are several ways to bake bannock. I personally use a stainless steel pan with three or four evenly sized stones placed at the bottom of the pan. Then a round tin or a plate put on top of them (Creating oven like environment) with lid on top of the pan. You can use hot coals from a fire or a gas stove (at low heat) to bake the bannock, it’s your choice.

The main ingredients are: 2 parts self-raising flour and one part milk powder. You can measure the parts by simply using the cup of your hand or a mug of any sort. (The measurements do not need to be precise).

Now, if you what a sweet Bannock then you can add a tea spoon amount of brown sugar some cranberries, raisins, any dried fruit that you’re happy with and possible some oats.

If you want something savoury then you can simple add some sliced sun-dried tomatoes, olives, beef jerky, salami, a little salt and pepper and what ever else you fancy?

Once you’ve selected your ingredients add some water. There is no precise amount, so add a little at a time. Mix the water in and knead the mixture into a non-sticky dough. You may have to add a little more flour if the dough is sticky.

Grease the plate or tin and press the dough (no need to prove the dough) into its shape and place it into the pan. Now start baking it which ever way you like, as mentioned above, keeping a close eye on it. There is no set time so you have to judge it. The bannock should be ready once it’s slightly browned on both sides and not sticky in the middle.
